🎉VOTE NOW!🎉

This week, we have a Shark nominated for TCPalm's Teacher of the Week! 🦈

Congratulations to Hidden Oaks Middle School's Ms. Kelly Coleman, a Civics teacher, nominated by one of her 8th grade students for her kindness, leadership, and dedication to helping every student succeed: "Ms. Coleman has truly made a difference in my life. She’s kind, supportive, and always encourages us to do our best. Her Civics class is one of the strongest, with high EOC scores because she takes the time to help everyone understand. She’s also a strong leader on campus and always stands up for what’s right. She helped make eighth grade unforgettable, and I’m so grateful to have had her as a teacher this year."
